We study a problem of minimal surfaces with free boundary written in the form of a non convex minimization problem. Our aim is to characterize optimal solutions by finding a suitable calibration field. A natural upper bound of the infimum…

We prove an improvement of flatness result for nonlocal minimal surfaces which is independent of the fractional parameter $s$ when $s\rightarrow 1^-$. As a consequence, we obtain that all the nonlocal minimal cones are flat and that all the…
We show the existence of a complete, strictly locally convex hypersurface within $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ that adheres to a curvature equation applicable to a broad range of curvature functions. This hypersurface possesses a prescribed asymptotic…

We study a free boundary problem on the lattice whose scaling limit is a harmonic free boundary problem with a discontinuous Hamiltonian. We find an explicit formula for the Hamiltonian, prove the solutions are unique, and prove that the…
We prove that area-minimizing hypersurfaces are generically smooth in ambient dimension $11$ in the context of the Plateau problem and of area minimization in integral homology. For higher ambient dimensions, $n+1 \geq 12$, we prove in the…
We show that in the setting of proper metric spaces one obtains a solution of the classical two-dimensional Plateau problem by minimizing the energy, as in the classical case, once a definition of area (in the sense of convex geometry) has…
In this paper we study the area minimizing problem in some kinds of conformal cones. This concept is a generalization of the cones in Eulcidean spaces and the cylinders in product manifolds. We define a non-closed-minimal (NCM) condition…
In this paper we study the Plateau problem for disk-type surfaces contained in conic regions of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ and with prescribed mean curvature $H$. Assuming a suitable growth condition on $H$, we prove existence of a least energy…
Theoretical background is provided towards the mathematical foundation of the minimum enclosing ball problem. This problem concerns the determination of the unique spherical surface of smallest radius enclosing a given bounded set in the…
We consider the behavior of the nonlocal minimal surfaces in the vicinity of the boundary. By a series of detailed examples, we show that nonlocal minimal surfaces may stick at the boundary of the domain, even when the domain is smooth and…
In this paper, we prove that the product of a paired calibrated set and a set of codimension 1 calibrated by a coflat calibration with small singularity set is Almgren minimal. This is motivated by the attempt to classify all possible…
The classical theorem of Nitsche asserts that every free-boundary minimal disk in the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^3$ is an equatorial flat disk. Fraser and Schoen later generalized this rigidity theorem to arbitrary dimensions and ambient spaces…
We investigate the limit behaviour of sequences of free boundary minimal hypersurfaces with bounded index and volume, by presenting a detailed blow-up analysis near the points where curvature concentration occurs. Thereby, we derive a…
Given a sequence of properly embedded minimal surfaces in a $3$-manifold with local bounds on area and genus, we prove subsequential convergence, smooth away from a discrete set, to a smooth embedded limit surface, possibly with…
We introduce a new technique to solve period problems on minimal surfaces called limit-method. If a family of surfaces has Weierstrass-data converging to the data of a known example, and this presents a transversal solution of periods, then…
